I think what you mean is, "how do you read Modern Hebrew without vowels". (You can't pronounce any words without vowels).

Hebrew is a consonant-based language, just like all Semitic languages. The words are fairly easy to read without vowels, because there are only a limited number of patterns that form words. When a Hebrew reader sees a word in context, they mentally supply the vowels without even realizing it.


It can be done in English too, though not as easily, since English is not a consonant-based language.

Was the name Jehovah actually an invented word because the Hebrew name of God is YHVH and the vowels were added because there was no known way to pronounce YHVH since Hebrew lacks vowels?

That is basically correct, but over-simplified. Hebrew, including the printed Bible, has vowels; but the handwritten parchment scrolls do not. The vowels of that particular word are no longer known; and E A and O (Hebrew vowels) were inserted by Jewish tradition in order to remind the reader to pronounce the word as if it were written "Adonai," since we never attempt to pronounce God's actual name. Early Christian monks learning Hebrew didn't understand this custom.

How do you speak with an Israeli accent?

Well Modern Hebrew is basically Spanish Hebrew with a Yiddish/Central European accent. -In Modern Hebrew the R can be pronounced as the guttural back of the throat French R (although it can also be trilled as in Spanish or Arabic). -Although Biblical Hebrew had the "th" sound, Modern Hebrew does not so pronounce any ''th's'' as d, t, z, or s. -There is no W sound in Modern Hebrew (because of Yiddish influence) but Most Modern Hebrew speakers can pronounce this sound. -The H is barely pronounced -The vowels are only long in Modern Hebrew (thus a is pronounced "ah"; e= eh; i=ee; o=oh; u=oo) Thats all I could say. The Israeli accent unique and sounds like a French accent with Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Yiddish influence.
